Russia has submitted data on Turkey’s illegal arms and military hardware supply to Islamic State in Syria to the UN Security Council.

According to RT citing Russian media, Russian UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said supplies are supervised by the Turkish intelligence service.

“The main supplier of weapons and military equipment to ISIL fighters is Turkey, which is doing so through non-governmental organizations. Work in this area is overseen by the National Intelligence Organization of Turkey,” Churkin wrote, while transportation “mainly involves vehicles, including as part of humanitarian aid convoys.”

The letter mentioned that Turkey used several NGOs to send different cargo, including military equipment, to Syria last year.

“The Besar foundation (President — D. Sanli) is most actively engaged in pursuing these objectives and, in 2015, formed around 50 convoys to the Turkmen areas of Bayirbucak and Kiziltepe (260km north of Damascus),” C hurkin stressed, adding that the Iyilikder Foundation and the Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms were also involved.

According to the Russian envoy, terrorist groups operating in Syria received explosive materials worth $1.9 million from Turkey last year.

“Total supplies to terrorists through Turkey were as follows in 2015: 2,500 tons of ammonium nitrate (worth approximately US$788,700); 456 tons of potassium nitrate ($468,700); 75 tons of aluminum powder ($496,500); sodium nitrate ($19,400); glycerin ($102,500); and nitric acid ($34,000),” Churkin wrote.
